There’s a new radio just ripped from the RUU of the new Sensation XE. What’s great is that this radio works perfectly fine on the regular TMOUS Sensation 4G. Whether or not it has any added benefit has yet to be seen since it is so new. However, from initial speed tests it seems it’s slightly better or on par with previous releases.

The radio should show as 10.58.9035.00P_10.15.9035.02_2 under your phone settings on your S4G. Please head over to this XDA thread to download the latest release. Please confirm the md5sum before flashing! If it does not match, please re-download again or else you risk bricking your phone. You can check md5 via the adb shell or any free md5sum checker program.

To flash, all you need to do is place the downloaded PG58IMG.zip file at the root of your sdcard. Then reboot into your bootloader and it will prompt you to update it.

After the radio is done flashing, proceed to reboot the phone. You will most likely get stuck at the white HTC screen. Don’t worry, it’s easily fixable.

With adb, issue the command adb reboot recovery while on that white HTC screen. This is assuming you have adb tools installed and your phone is connected to your computer. If you do not have adb install, download the attached zip below that contains all you need for adb.

Once you are in recovery (Clockworkmod in my case), wipe cache, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik. Now reboot your phone and you should get past the white HTC screen now. You can also delete the zip file that you placed on your sdcard earlier or move it for safe storage somewhere else. It is best not to leave it sitting on your sdcard.

The Seidio guys have been making quality cases and accessories for many phones in recent years, but it seems something isn’t right with their current Surface case for the LG G2x.

As you can see from the above picture, that corner mark was made by the inner edge of the Seidio Surface case. The case either needs to have it’s inner edges shaved slightly to prevent this from happening. This is just one corner, the other three corners have similar cosmetic blemishes now.

Is this a repeat of what happened with Evo users from last year? For the time being, I’m back to using my softer TPU case. A note has been sent into Seidio technical support, I’ll see what they have to say about this.

So from a few reports on XDA, there’s some discussion on whether or not removing a piece of protective plastic from the back of the G2x results in better reception. The plastic can either be blue-ish or black like the picture above. It’s located right above the bottom speakers after you remove the back cover of the G2x. There’s no warranty voiding since it’s just a protective piece of plastic like you see on a lot of electronics.

One thing I did notice that was better was wifi calling. My first phone call out via wifi did not break up like it normally did. I’ll try on various access points through out the day, but try this out and see if it does anything for you.

 

The folks at My Droid World just got the Flash 10.2 apk that is supposed to be released on the 18th of March. This will work on the Xoom tablet and just about all popular Android phones. I’ve loaded it on my G2 running CM7 and it works as expected.

Updating your radio on your handset can sometimes provide better coverage or faster speeds when using data. You can usually find these radios scattered all over the net, but for our update on the Nexus One (N1), it can be downloaded from Cyanogenmod. We’ll be using the 05.12.00.08 radio upgrade from 4.06.

Although it states this .zip is flashable via your favorite recovery, it’s much easier and safer to do it via fastboot using adb. Assuming you have some knowledge of how adb works, go through the following steps for this update.

  1. Download the .zip from CM’s website and extract the radio.img file to your adb/tools directory.
  2. With your N1 powered off, boot into your bootloader (vol down + power on).
  3. Connect a micro usb cable from the N1 to your computer.
  4. Navigate to your adb/tools directory via a command prompt in your Windows installation. Issue the command “fastboot devices“. You will see your device listed.
  5. Stop if you do not see your device listed. You will need to make sure drivers for your N1 have been installed and/or loaded correctly at this point.
  6. If you do see your device listed, issue the command “fastboot flash radio radio.img“. You will see something like the following: sending ‘radio’ (26112 KB)… OKAY [  3.866s] writing ‘radio’… OKAY [ 31.912s] finished. total time: 35.778s
  7. Reboot your handset and you are all done. You can verify the radio has taken by going back into your bootloader or by going to your About Phone section in Settings.
 

If you are in need of pushing, pulling, or performing some other Android Device Bridge (adb) duties on your T-mobile G2, here’s how to make your PC recognize your device. By plugging in your USB cable to your PC, you’ll most likely see the following when issuing the “adb devices” command.

C:\Users\Andy\adb\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached

The problem is that your PC does not have the correct drivers loaded. This just means your Windows based computer doesn’t know what to do with that phone of yours when connected. If you opened up your device manager, you’ll see an adb device with an exclamation point indicating failure to load drivers.

Assuming you already have adb tools downloaded, grab the usb drivers. This will appear under your “tools” directory. Now open up “android_winusb.inf” with notepad (or something equivalent) and add the following.

Right below “[Google.NTx86]” and “[Google.NTamd64]” add:

;T-Mobile G2
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C91
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C91&MI_01
;

Now go back into device manager and perform the driver update option on that mysterious adb device we spoke about earlier. This will allow both 32bit and 64bit Windows PCs to see your G2 after it has been installed.  These drivers were tested on Windows 7 Pro 64bit and confirmed to be working.

 

There are a number of digital clocks on the market, but none are as simple and sleek as dclock. However, the only downside is that in stock form, there’s no way to make the background transparent. After some searching, it looks like someone on XDA gone ahead and done everyone a huge favor.

Feel free to jump over to that thread to grab the .apk or download below. Install via your favorite file manager.

Here’s another quick easy fix for your Droid Incredible (we’re on a roll). Rovio recently released their popular mobile game Angry Birds to the Android world to the delight of many Android users. However, some Dinc owners are not having much luck after downloading the game.

The issue a lot of people seem to be having is that as soon as the game starts loading, it exits out by itself to your homescreen. A tad annoying, but there’s a simple fix for it. As soon as the loading screen comes on (as shown in the above image), start tapping your screen. It does not matter where you tap, just keep tapping and it will bring you to the main menu. Subsequent game launches will not need this little fix — at least I haven’t seen a homescreen crash out yet.

Now go and slingshot your birds :)
